SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the critical need to manage project dependencies effectively, mitigating security risks, reducing bloat, and ensuring license compliance.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Security Audits: Detects known vulnerabilities (critical, high, medium, low) in project dependencies.
  • Outdated Package Management: Identifies outdated packages and suggests upgrade paths, flagging major version risks.
  • License Compliance: Checks for license compatibility and flags potential issues with copyleft or missing licenses.
  • Unused Dependency Detection: Helps identify and remove packages that are no longer used, reducing project size.
  • Bundle Size Analysis: For JS/TS projects, estimates the impact of dependencies on bundle size and suggests lighter alternatives.
  • Use Case: Before deploying your application, run a full dependency audit to ensure there are no critical vulnerabilities and that all licenses are compliant with your company's policy.

Quick Start

Run a full dependency audit for the project.

Frequently Asked Questions about dependency-audit

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run a security audit for outdated npm packages and Python dependencies?

Run a security audit to detect known vulnerabilities and outdated packages across npm, pip, poetry, and other ecosystems. The audit analyzes security risks using native tools, identifies outdated packages with versioning context, and provides upgrade paths with risk assessments.

Can I check license compliance and detect unused dependencies in my project?

Yes, you can check license compliance and detect unused dependencies in your project. The audit checks licenses against compliance categories to flag copyleft or missing licenses, and scans code to identify unused imports for removal.

What is the best way to analyze bundle size impact for JavaScript and TypeScript projects?

The best way to analyze bundle size impact for JavaScript and TypeScript projects is to estimate the effect of dependencies on the bundle. The audit identifies heavy packages and suggests lighter alternatives to reduce project bloat.

Does dependency vulnerability scanning work with Go, Rust, Ruby, and Java ecosystems?

Dependency vulnerability scanning works with Go, Rust, Ruby, and Java/Kotlin ecosystems, alongside npm, yarn, pnpm, and pip. It detects critical, high, medium, and low security risks using native audit tools for each environment.

When should I run a full dependency audit before deploying my application?

You should run a full dependency audit before deploying your application to ensure there are no critical vulnerabilities and that all licenses are compliant with your company's policy. This mitigates security risks and reduces bloat.

How does major version risk assessment work when upgrading outdated packages?

Major version risk assessment flags potential breaking changes when upgrading outdated packages. It identifies outdated packages with versioning context, evaluates the security and stability risks of major version jumps, and provides safe upgrade paths.
